Judy Lu's book The Birth of the First Republic in Asia is based on the Library of Congress' original presidential manuscripts, foreign relations documents and rare materials in the Chinese Collection of the Library of Congress that cover the period from 1840 to 1913. These documents depict a weak and powerless China under the Qing Dynasty, and describe the country's long journey to establish the first democratic Republic of China.
Dr. Mi Chu's book Chu Cheng and XinHai Revolution is based on the rich manuscript collection of her Grandfather Ju Zheng -- the revolutionary who was responsible for the "Wuchang Victory" on October 10 -- and details the 1911 Revolution.
